Terraform should bcrypt adminPassword

[ggreer]

Currently, the user has to provide the bcrypted, base64-encoded password. We also have to calculate this in the GUI. Doing this in terraform would make for a better experience for users.

Unfortunately that feature doesn't exist in Terraform Upstream. We could add it but it might take some time.

[ggreer]

OK. Until then, we can do it in JS.

[sym3tri]

@ggreer we have someone who will be adding this upstream soon.

Upstream PR hashicorp/terraform#14725

[radeksimko]

Just FYI - the linked PR was just merged and will be part of 0.9.7 release.

[sym3tri]

@radeksimko Nice! Thanks for the update.

[Quentin-M]

Upstream was validated, the backend change can happen very quickly, as long as we get to update Terraform.

[Quentin-M]

It will take another 3 weeks for Terraform 0.9.10 to be released, which is likely be the next version we use. Pushing for now.

[radeksimko]

@Quentin-M there are no more 0.9 releases planned at this point. The next planned release is 0.10.0beta1, but the bcrypt function was already released in 0.9.7 as mentioned in the changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#097-june-7-2017

[Quentin-M]

I guess that is what I meant, 0.10, not 0.9 :) Thanks for reaching out!

For what it's worth, we do not plan to update to 0.9.7 nor 0.9.8 as they both suffer from a regression in template_file, which we use quite a bit.

[radeksimko]

Understood, sorry for the regression. 🙈

Just in case you missed this - there's a blogpost about planned changes which may affect you in 0.10:

Thanks a lot, truly appreciate it! We are all looking forward to it!
